Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith

Chapter-13

That was the reason why she specifically ordered Cai Wei to slap Bai Ruo Qi.

This action hid several layers of planning and purposes for future use.

First of all, it would be able to humiliate Bai Ruo Qi. Secondly, it would give Cai Wei a chance to toughen up and become more daring.

And finally, this was the most important point. Cai Wei would have thoroughly offended Bai Ruo Qi. So if she were to ever leave Huang Yue Li's protection, she would quickly receive Bai Ruo Qi's insane retaliation.

If she were to spread affairs outside and betray Huang Yue Li, what awaited her to was a grim future.

This was called 'Throwing Oneself Out to Prove'.

Originally, she knew quite a few heaven level cultivation techniques. If she were to take them out now, they would be too shocking. Additionally, there was a limit to Cai Wei's talents, so a black level technique was the most suitable for her to use.

Even so, Cai Wei was moved to tears and immediately knelt down infront of Huang Yue Li.

"Third Young Miss, you treat this servant so well. This one never would have thought she would be able to cultivate, truly a thing I wouldn't dare to dream about. In the future, this servant will definitely serve on you with all my heart. Climbing a mountain of knives, through a sea of fire, I will not hesitate to do them!"

Huang Yue Li smiled: "Remember your words. That's right, I have a task for you to complete right now."

"Third Young Miss please command."

Compared to her usual attitude, Cai Wei's reverence and respect was increased by several folds.

Huang Yue Li said: "This courtyard only has one maid and two old sweeping ladies. This is a bit too appalling. Later go to the slave dealer and choose a couple of reliable girls and some guards to properly tidy up this area. In the future, you will be the head maid of this back courtyard."

If there were some guards standing at the entrance, then at least, Bai Ruo Qi would not have escaped that quickly.

With great difficulty she had taught her a lesson. It was time to raise the prices!

What a shame, what a shame! It ached too much!

"Ah? In order to buy some good maids nowadays, you need quite a bit of money....."

Before she could even finish her words, Huang Yue Li took out a large bag of silvers.

Stunned, Cai Wei stuttered: "These silvers..."

By a rough estimate, there was about fifty silvers, but this household was on the brink of bankruptcy. Soon, they would not be able to afford food, yet Third Young Miss had just revealed a bag of silvers.

Chuckling, Huang Yue Li answered: "Hurry and go."

She wouldn't tell Cai Wei this bag of silvers was taken off Bai Ruo Qi's body a moment ago.

She had coming knocking in her territory, how would Huang Yue Li allow her to leave without relinquishing some items behind?
Because of Bai Ruo Qi, wasting the entire evening, it wasn't until the next day that Huang Yue Li left her home.

...

At the entrance of Thousand Treasure Pavilion, an endless stream of carriages and pedestrians flowed.

Head raised, Huang Yue Li walked towards the entrance sign.

She was fully aware that what she was doing would be similar to treasuring a jade ring that turns into a crime. So she darkened her entire face and wore a dark grey cloak as she proceeded to sell her armaments.

A fist-sized golden-red ball appeared from within her cloak. Tilting its head, the fluffball observed its surroundings before burrowing out of the cloak. Flapping its tiny wings, he landed on Huang Yue Li's shoulder.

"Cheep cheep——!"

In a hushed voiced, the little phoenix called out.

As the master of the Sky Phoenix Ring, Huang Yue Li and the phoenix had been spiritually connected. Through their telepathic connection, she swiftly understood the little phoenix's words.

This little brat was complaining that its stomach was hungry. It wanted to eat breakfast!

Her eyes popping out slightly, Huang Yue Li glared at him: "Didn't I just feed you a meat bun? It was you who refused to eat it, and now you're complaining that you are hungry? Aren't you playing with me?"

She had just bought two meat buns from a roadside vendor and had broken off some to give it to him. As she tried to feed him, he gave her a loathing gaze before diving unsteadily into her cloak.

"Cheep! Cheep! Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!"

Furious, the little phoenix slapped one of its wings.

What was those trashy things? It a noble and respectful ancient beast. How could it possibly eat something was made from unknown sewer oil or meat from some random corpse?

Yesterday when it had spit out that ball of fire, he had exhausted quite a bit of energy. She had agreed to let him eat meat, but how could she take something like to pass him off!

Eyebrows arched, Huang Yue Li asked him: "Meat buns do not have meat? Being so picky at such a young age will stunt your growth. You tell me, if you can't put a meat bun in your eyes, what do you want to eat? "

Arrogantly raising his head, the little phoenix proclaimed: "Cheep! Cheep!"

'Just a few fifth level Gale Birds stewed in soup as well some seventh level spirit attributed herbs. Don't be stingy with the soy sauce as you simmer and fry them!'

Her hands grabbing his neck, Huang Yue Li lifted him up and maliciously smiled: "Fifth level magical beasts, seventh level herbs. Your wishes are quite extravagant aren't they? I think it would be better for me to turn you into chicken soup for tonight. This way, I won't have to waste food on you!"

"Cheep—-! !"

The feathers on the little phoenix's body all stood up.

Damn, this woman was too scary! She....how dare she treat such a respectable and noble race like this?? She dared to compare him to a chicken, whilst also...also considered eating him??

Huang Yue Li continued: "What? This elder sister can't even afford her own meals now, yet you hope to eat magical beasts? Let's talk about it when we earn money. Otherwise I will just sell you for money!"

Speaking to this point, she squatted down and her eyes brightened. Eye glittering, she looked at the little phoenix.

Cold sweat formed on the pitiful little phoenix instantly.

That sinister gaze he was far too familiar with. Once this female devil revealed this type of expression, it showed she was up to no good, ah? She she she......what did she want to do?

"Hehe. Today is the first day that I am coming out to do business, definitely must be auspicious. I can see that your body feathers are a full golden colour and quite festive looking. So...I will call you Zuo Wang Cai!"

(TLN: Zuo Wang Cai means: Zuo → make, Wang → prosperous, Cai → riches.......the poor phoenix. Basically being called moneymaker)

"Cheep! Cheep! Cheep! Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!——–! ! ! ! ! !"

'What? What are you going to call this Little Lord? This Little Lord has a name! I don't want to be called some Wang Cai? ? That name is what the dogs will use!'

It's just a shame, he just was the size of a small ball, unable to resist at all. Huang Yue Li was still beaming happily: "Repeating Wang Cai six times, smoothly succeeding. The number six is a good number, as expected it is auspicious. Continue repeating it, bring more prosperity for this elder sister."
(TLN: In the chinese liu→ 6 sound similar to flow. So it would mean that riches would come flowing over unhindered.)

The little phoenix was so angered that the feathers on his head were standing up straight. Determined to not say it any more.

"What's the matter? You're not repeating it anymore? Could it be that you really didn't develop well?"

Feeling emotional, Huang Yue Li shook her head and tucked him back into her sleeve. With big strides, she walked towards Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

...

Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

Inside the VIP area, Shopkeeper Sun was currently serving an esteemed customer.

"Master Yan, you have graced our Thousand Treasure Pavilion with your presence in this humble store! Please sit down and please drink some tea!"

An old man with a face full of arrogance sat down without any hint of politeness. He didn't even give Shopkeeper Sun a single glance.

But Shopkeeper Sun was not angered in the least and personally poured tea for him. Fawning on him, he spoke up: "Master Yan, may I ask the purpose of your visit, to buy materials perhaps? Or.... "

Only then did Master Yan speak: "The purpose of this senior's visit is for an armament. I wish to sell it in the auction. "

Sure enough!

On Shopkeeper Sun's face, an expression of ecstasy was revealed!

Who didn't know that every single work from an Armament Master didn't have their sweat and blood poured into it? Extremely precious and very few were taken out to be sold!

This was especially true with this Grandmaster Yan. He was the Vice-President of South Yue's Armament Master Guild whilst also being one of three Third Rank Armament Masters!

The armaments that he refined had a large possibility to be third level products!

Cautiously and carefully, Shopkeeper Sun said: "Grandmaster Yan, may I ask if you have brought the armament with you today? Would it be possible for this one to lay his eye on it?"

Grandmaster Yan nodded his head slightly.

Very quickly a long sword lying within a sandalwood box was carried in.

The body of the blade was emitting a weak cyan glow. With a quick look, you could tell it possessed of the might of a godly soldier!

Grandmaster Yan said: "This cyan bodied sword is a third level lower grade armament. It is able to amplify a practitioner's offensive capabilities by about twofold."

Turns out it was a third level armament! Amplifying one's offensive abilities and by two folds at that!

Face lighting up with delight, Shopkeeper Sun had already begun to calculate. He must organise a large scale auction to sell this high level product!

Every time a third level armament appeared in an auction, it would stir up the entire country of South Yue.

Successfully completing this big business would definitely leave a good impression to the new owner!

"Grandmaster Yan, your product's quality is simplify too grand and brilliant! The entire South Yue, only you can refine an amplifying armament..."

Stroking his beard, Grandmaster Yan was quite pleased to hear this.

"If it weren't considering our old friendship, this senior would have not come to your place to sell it. Selling the armament is possible at your place, but the profits must be split nine-one. I receive nine and you receive one......"

"Yes, yes, yes. Please rest assured, this is how it should be....."

With Grandmaster Yan's noble status of a Third Rank Armament Master, even if the Emperor was in their presence, he wouldn't dare to disrespect him in the slightest. Nothing to say about Shopkeeper Sun. The fact that he was willing to cooperate with him, was already showing Shopkeeper Sun great favour!

Any unreasonable request or condition, he would agree without complaint.

It was at that moment that one of the store's staff came scurrying along knocking on the door.

Displeased, Shopkeeper Sun answered: "What's the matter? Didn't I say it already? I am currently receiving an important customer, so do not carelessly come and disturb us!"

Nervously, the staff carefully reported: "Yes, this one knows. But Shopkeeper, a major event has happened.....just then a customer came and said....said he wanted to sell some third level armaments. Furthermore, it was....it was a whole cartfull....."
"What? What jokes are you making?"

Standing up suddenly, he had knocked over the small table in the process.

...

By the time Shopkeeper Sun and Grandmaster Yan had rushed back to the main hall of the shop, Huang Yue Li had already been kept waiting for quite a while.

Clothed in a large cloak, she disguised herself as a youngster.

Shopkeeper did not recognize her, but once he saw that her age was someone who had yet to reach twenty years, he began to frown.

Grandmaster Yan was even more unrestrained and impolitely said: "I say Old Sun ah. Your Thousand Treasure Pavilion is becoming more and more outrageous. This child who still stinks of his mother's milk dares to come swindle you in broad daylight!"

Casting him a glance, her gazed travelled from his old, wrinkled face of displeasure to the occupational badge on his chest.

Third Rank Armament Master...

Third Rank, this was considered quite a high level master in South Yue. Not wonder his tone was this arrogant.

Too lazy to respond to him, Huang Yue Li directly addressed Shopkeeper Sun: "What? Shopkeeper Sun, even you think I am here to swindle some money? If it's like this, then I'll just go the shop Hundred Jewel Pavilion. I won't disturb you any longer!"
